The fact that the parents’ temporal contact rebus remains positive compounds the effect of their parental contact rebus, in a similar way to that of the teenager’s transmuted temporal contact rebus. The inertness of the parents’ temporal contact rebus is what strengthens the untransmuted contact rebus which they are already transmitting to their child.
The more the child receives the same untransmuted contact rebus in response to his own tests, the more his positive core will continue to receive maximum external nurturing. This positive core will develop and mature so that the child can increasingly employ its life force (Motivational Work, Part1: Values and Theory, pages 402 – 418).
The untransmuted temporal contact rebus is therefore a permanent, ‘genuine’ (i.e. untransmuted) positive contact rebus. Thus there are two types of temporal contact rebus, the untransmuted one manifesting life force in its least transmuted guise, in which life energy is directly transferred without being wasted on transmutation. However, the fact that the temporal contact rebus is untransmuted does not mean its content and emotions are inert; it means that they are untransmuted.
Our discussion of the untransmuted temporal contact rebus has thus far been based on an unequal relationship, namely that of parent-teenager or in more general terms, parent-child. This type of relationship must be built up from scratch or already exist. Nevertheless, the parental figure must be primarily focused on giving the child love, and for this reason, does not require a powerful and unambiguous response in return.
The child, on the other hand, focuses on receiving as much life force as possible, meaning that his contact rebus may be transmuted or untransmuted. When the child’s contact rebus is untransmuted, he is responding to his parents with full trust and openness. However, unlike the parental contact rebus, this untransmuted contact rebus is unstable as it varies with the child’s needs and circumstances. In this case, the child’s untransmuted temporal contact rebus will be correspondingly unstable.
The unstable untransmuted contact rebus and similarly unstable, untransmuted temporal contact rebus may also occur in equal relationships, such as an adult romance where the two parties have already tested one another in the order of succession and there is no longer any great need to confirm that the right partner has been found. The need for a powerful and unambiguous response is also eliminated since it has already been provided in the other party’s contact rebus.
From this we can maintain that the untransmuted contact rebus may occur in a variety of relationship types, and when present in mutual relationships which equally satisfy the emotional needs of both parties is the result of a bonding process. However, in the parental relationship, the parent already has an untransmuted contact rebus, something we can call an ascribed untransmuted contact rebus. It is there from the start and is permanently inert.
At the same time, the child exhibits a transmuted contact rebus towards his parents, and may also exhibit an untransmuted contact rebus, but it is unstable in the way we have described for equal relationships. Such an untransmuted contact rebus, which has a degree of transmutation that depends on interaction, may be called an achieved untransmuted contact rebus.
Unlike the ascribed untransmuted contact rebus, the achieved untransmuted contact rebus is more unstable because the interaction between the two parties affects the degree of transmutation. The achieved untransmuted contact rebus may exist from the start or arise after a longer or shorter period of interaction.
The two types of untransmuted contact rebus make the untransmuted temporal contact rebus somewhat different. Achieved untransmuted contact rebuses are always dependent on the interaction remaining open and trustful (i.e. untransmuted). The achieved untransmuted temporal contact rebus can thus be more unstable than the other type of temporal contact rebus, which is based on the transmitting partner in an unequal relationship (i.e. an ascribed untransmuted temporal contact rebus),
In the case of the latter, the parent’s untransmuted temporal contact rebus is permanent since in the parent-child relationship the parent is not mutually emotionally dependent in the same way as he is in an equal relationship.
As we have learned, even the constructive contact rebus of the manifestly motivated person contains demotivation, and this is the case with both transmuted and untransmuted contact rebuses. However, it is not the primary component of the contact rebus as long as the individual remains motivated. For the transmuted contact rebus, demotivation means that functions are added to it which would not otherwise exist.
